OLED monitors are the latest and greatest thing in PC gaming. But like just about everything related to PC gaming hardware, they don’t come cheap—so when you find an OLED gaming monitor for well under the going rate, you might want to leap on it. This Pixio 27-inch 1440p model is $549.99 on Amazon, which is about as cheap as it gets for an OLED outside of a major holiday sale.
You’ve probably seen this same model a time or two if you’ve been hunting for a low-priced OLED. It has a familiar 1440p resolution, a 240Hz refresh rate that’ll satisfy all but the twitchiest of multiplayer gamers, and support for Adaptive Sync if you’re playing something more cinematic. It also has more connections than you usually get in budget displays, including USB-C video with 65 watts of power delivery and two USB-A ports. It even includes a KVM switch for handling multiple input devices simultaneously.
Pixio is a budget brand, and if you’re looking for something from Alienware or another big name in this range, you might want to wait for one of those aforementioned holiday sales. But set your concerns aside because Pixio monitors have a two-year warranty on its panels and multiple Amazon reviewers say they’ve been pleased by the service when they needed to use it. That, uh, might be damning with faint praise.
Amazon hasn’t marked this as a time-limited sale, so the $550 price might stick around for a while. Then again, it might shoot up once current stock runs out, especially if you’re buying from the United States.
A 27-inch 1440p OLED monitor for $550 is a great price
